Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.00(Geosciences, Multidisciplinary)Marine terraces developed along the southeastern coast of Kii Peninsula, southwestern Japan, face a seismogenic region along the Nankai Trough. We determined the emergence age of one of these marine terraces by using feldspar OSL dating of the marine terrace sediments. The target marine terrace has previously been correlated with MIS 5e on the basis of morphostratigraphy. Samples for pIRIR dating were obtained from foreshore deposits of the marine terrace. pIRIR signals were measured at 150 
C (pIRIR
) and 225 C (pIRIR
). These results show that the surface of the marine terrace corresponds to MIS 5e rather than MIS 5c or 7, which is consistent with the chronological framework based on the morphological features of the terraces in this study area.

Times Cited Count：4 Percentile：39.20(Geochemistry & Geophysics)Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL)-thermometry can be used to reconstruct the thermal structure in slowly denuded regions where infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) signals of samples obtained from deep boreholes are measured and evaluated with depth. Until now, only one study has explored this approach, using a target mineral of Na-feldspar. In this study, we applied multi-OSL-thermometry to K-feldspar obtained from deep borehole core samples (MIZ-1) drilled at the Tono region, central Japan, which is a well-documented thermally stable crustal environment. The inverted temperature for the IRSL 50 C of the samples at a depth of 
1 km (40 C) were consistent with the in-situ temperature. The results suggest that the application of OSL-thermometry to K-feldspar in a borehole is useful to reconstruct the paleothermal condition.

The formation process of terrace topography was investigated by observing and analyzing boring core samples collected in the middle reaches of the Kumano River. It was assumed that the older terrace topography was distributed higher than the current riverbed surface. However, since tributary debris flow deposits may be thickly distributed beneath the old gyre river valley, care must be taken when using the surface of the ground as an index of uplift and erosion.

The 17th International Conference on Thermochronology (Thermo2021) was held on September 12-17, 2021 at the Eldorado Resort in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. Due to the social situation and the spread of the COVID-19, the event had been postponed. In this paper, I report on the circumstances surrounding our participation in the conference, the contents and trends of the presentations made at the conference, and the tasks for the 2023 and 2025 conferences.

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating method on feldspar is useful to date sediments on geomorphological time scale. In this presentation, we present the case studies for marine terraces in the Noto Peninsula and abandoned river valleys along the Oi River, for which the emergence ages were estimated by using feldspar OSL dating. This study was carried out as a part of the establishment of advanced technology for estimation of uplift rates using emergence ages of emergent landforms project.

One hundred thousand-year-scale uplift rate of the Japanese mountains is estimated mainly based on the Terrace to Terrace method (TT method; Yoshiyama and Yanagida, 1995). To apply the TT method, it is necessary to identify the pair of the sedimentary terraces of the last glacial period and the one before last glacial period. However, there are many mountains where such terrace pairs are not recognized. Therefore, as an alternative method to the TT method, we suggest the method based on landforms and deposits of incised meandering rivers (for example, Yasue et al., 2014; Ogata et al., 2021). In this presentation, we will report the results of a survey conducted in the middle of the Oi River as part of such research.

For the K-feldspar obtained from the MIZ-1 core, the inverted temperatures for the IRSL50 C of the samples at a depth of 1 km (40 C) were consistent with the in-situ temperatures. The results suggest that the application of OSL-thermometry to K-feldspar in a borehole is useful to reconstruct the palaeothermal condition. In this presentation, we will also show the results of the Kabutoyama core to draw more comprehensive conclusions.

Marine terraces are formed by regional uplift and sea level change, being useful for estimating uplift rates on geomorphological time scale (10
-10
years). However, the emergent ages, and then the uplift rates, are difficult to determine when the sediments include few organic materials and tephra. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating method on feldspar is useful to date sediments on 10-10-year timescales. Thus, this method has been applied to date marine terrace deposits in the last several years. In this presentation, we will present the case study for MIS 5e marine terraces in the Kii Peninsula, for which the depositional ages were estimated by using feldspar OSL dating.

Terrace to terrace (TT) method is mainly used for estimating uplift rate on mountain areas of Japan on 10-year time scale. However, this method cannot be applied to the area with poor distribution of fluvial terraces. In such area, the method based on the emergence ages of the fluvial landform, e.g., an abandoned river valley around a cutoff spur, and the relative elevation between old and present reiver bed is expected instead of TT method. This method calculates the river-incision rate by dividing the relative elevation by the emergence age. The river-incision rate is equal to the uplift rate if the river is at equilibrium (graded stream). We are investigating the fluvial landform in the Oi River basin for verifying this method. In this presentation, we will present the incision and uplift rate estimated by feldspar OSL dating results.
